Thanks to roles in everything from 'Parks and Recreation' to 'Severance,' Adam Scott has garnered quite an impressive career as an actor.
However, what's more impressive is his almost two-decade-long marriage to Naomi Scott. Adam has said that he couldn't have the life he has without her, which only made many fans more curious about who she is.
The couple prefers to keep their private lives away from the public eye, but we did some digging to find out everything we could about Adam and Naomi's love story and the secret to their long-lasting marriage.
Adam and Naomi first met back in 1998 when they were both in their early twenties. Adam was just kicking off his career as an actor, and Naom was working as a producer.
However, when the pair were first introduced at a Sunset Boulevard bar, they didn't exactly get off on the right foot.
Adam admitted that "Naomi left promptly" after their brief interaction.
Whoa, like what's the story? What, what happened there holy, holy cow.
She later explained that she was turned off by the fact that he was an actor and thought that he was talking to her so that he could get more work.
Naomi even asked Adam if he had a backup plan for acting.
Thankfully, she had a change of heart after she watched Adam's stand-up comedy performance.
Naomi was impressed at his skills and figured she should give him a chance. It didn't take long for that one chance to lead to a blossoming romance.
The couple maintained a fair bit of privacy around their relationship and did their best to keep things low-key.
So, yeah, we, we were just sort of hoping that it would work. And, and it really did.
After seven years of dating, Naomi and Adam got married in 2005, and they kept the details of the ceremony to themselves.
Two years later, they welcomed their first child, a son they named Graham. In 2009, they had their second child, a daughter, Frankie.
While Adam and Naomi haven't been very open to sharing the intimate details of their family life, the actor did open up about the secret to their happy marriage.
As the years went by, both Adam and Naomi gained traction in their respective careers. Naomi even dabbled as an actress herself, featuring as an extra on 'Kissing Jessica Stein.'
She then went on to work as a segment producer on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and later got a job as a producer on the 'Andy Milonakis Show.'
As for Adam, after scoring the role of Ben Wyatt in 'Parks and Recreation,' his own career soared.
He went on to star in widely successful shows like, 'Big Little Lies,' 'The Good Place' and, most recently, 'Severance.'
Along with success in his career came busier schedules and more time away from home.
You know, so I’ve had to figure out how to avoid giving anything away.
However, Adam and Naomi didn't let their intense work schedules interfere with their life at home.
They worked hard at balancing their careers with their home lives, making sure that they were present parents for their two kids and made time for each other too.
It was important for them that family came first.
Shortly after they welcomed their first child, the couple launched their own production company called 'Gettin' Rad Productions.'
The company was a great way for the couple to collaborate and have an excuse to spend more time together.
Yeah, we had never worked together, so it was really, really fun to do that.
Naomi explained that they came up with the idea when she realized that the hours she was going to be spending working on other people's projects were going to keep her from spending time with her own family.
So far, their production company's most notable works include the series 'Adult Swim', 'The Greatest Event in Television History,' and the film 'Other People.'
Adam doesn't shy away from crediting his wife for everything good in his life, along with their ability to prioritize their marriage.
Adam also shared that their children have recently developed an interest in his projects, more specifically the series, 'Severance.'
They’re teenagers. They’re 13 and 15. So, whatever they see and do, they — I have to pry it out of them.
At first, Adam thought his kids would never want to watch anything that he was in because "they get enough" of him at home.
As it turns out, his two teenage kids are huge fans of his work.
Despite both parents being involved in the TV and film industry, Adam explained that there is no pressure on their kids to follow in their footsteps.
In fact, he said that "the last thing they wanna do is something like that."
The actor also claims that his kids turned out so well because of Naomi.
In honor of Mother's Day in 2021, Adam wrote on Instagram,
We’re really up against struggle and, so, I think this is a really great one and I can’t wait to see what happens.
While the two teens have an interest in their dad's show, it turns out that they also have a passion for activism, just like their parents.
The couple encouraged their kids to be involved in activism so that they could learn the importance of trying to make the world a better place.
The actor understands that with having a life in the public eye, it's easy for his kids to get caught up in the limelight of Hollywood.
However, he wants them to have a normal childhood and keep them away from the chaos of fame.
After almost two decades of marriage, Adam and Naomi seem to have figured out how to make their marriage work, and they've set an incredible example for their children.
The couple seems perfectly happy keeping their lives private, and prioritizing their family has proven to be the ultimate secret to their relationship.
However, there are rare occasions when Adam shares pictures of his family, and they all look blissfully happy and remarkably normal.
The actor always proudly gushes over his wife, saying,
He also acknowledged how Hollywood relationships have a nutritious reputation for being short and fleeting.
So when it comes to his marriage to Naomi, he couldn't be more grateful.
I mean it’s, it never works that way, so we were just so lucky.
Some couples don't mind sharing the details of their private life with their fans, and others prefer to keep things to themselves.
When it comes to Adam and Naomi, it's pretty clear that maintaining their privacy is an important part of what makes their marriage work.
Not only do they want to prioritize their family, but they also want to make sure that their two children have a grounded and normal childhood that isn't tainted by the glaring spotlight of Hollywood.
We're so happy that Adam and Naomi found happiness.
We wish them only the best for their future, and we're sure they're going to be together for more decades to come.
